A voting trust is a contract between shareholders in which their shares and voting rights are temporarily transferred to a trustee. A voting agreement is a contract in which shareholders agree to vote a certain way on specific issues without giving up their shares or voting rights.
Shares of Class A Common Stock represented by Trust Interests may be withdrawn from the Voting Trust only (a) upon written notice by a Beneficiary to the Trustee (a Class A Notice of Withdrawal) or (b) in connection with an Ineligibility Withdrawal or a Selling Withdrawal (each as defined below).
Definition. A trust formed when individual shareholders transfer both the legal title and voting rights in their shares to a trustee. The trustee then controls a unified voting block - with a stronger voice on matters of corporate governance than the individual shareholders could have on their own.
In fact, voting trusts are not expressly permitted under the LLC statutes of most states. Rather, the law governing voting trusts has been developed over time by court decisions (i.e., common law), mostly in the context of corporate (not LLC) governance.
A voting trust can be revocable or irrevocable; typically they are irrevocable for a period of years, or for life of the key person, or until the company is sold.
A trust does not have legal personality and can therefore not vote as a shareholder, because it is only an accumulation of assets.
A voting trust certificate is a document used to give temporary voting control over a corporation to one or several individuals. It is issued to a shareholder and represents the normal rights of any other stockholder, such as receiving quarterly dividends in exchange for their common shares.
